Member’s Statement On Recognition Of Elders And Youth Of Nahendeh

Mr. Speaker, mahsi cho. (English not provided)

In the beautiful communities of the Nahendeh, many people, groups and organizations work diligently day after day, year after year, to make it a safe, friendly and exciting place to live and visit. Today I want to recognize such individuals. The first is a very respected elder, Mr. Edward Jumbo, from Trout Lake and the youth from Nahanni Butte. A guardian angel is watching over the lake is how our honourable Commissioner Tony Whitford described elder Mr. Edward Jumbo when he came and visited and presented Mr. Jumbo with a certificate from the lifesaving society. In the summer, 2004, Mr. Jumbo saved the lives of two tourists from Calgary who capsized their boat on Trout Lake. This wasn’t the first time. Previously, he saved a man who accidentally fell out of his boat that was going in circles.

From Nahanni Butte, I wish to recognize Breagh Ingarfield, 14; Kayla Betsaka, 15; and Kyra Tanche, 14, who were in the news this week for opening an animal shelter in Nahanni Butte.

---Applause

As well, Mr. Speaker, the youth from Nahanni Butte were recognized by Mr. Wayne Rostad from On the Road Again and did take time to show them on his show last night. It just goes to show the exceptional abilities of our youth from Nahanni Butte.

Hear! Hear!

Once again, I commend my constituency and indeed all NWT residents who take the time and effort to help others. It’s interesting, Mr. Speaker, that these individuals are elders and youth who are going out of their way to provide service to people and animals.

Once again, I would just like to commend these individuals from the Nahendeh communities and all the other people in the North who are taking time out in their busy lives to improve the lives of others and animals as well. Mahsi.

---Applause
